Jail bird, copy cat

Reality star Nicole Richie is following in Paris Hilton's footsteps again -- this time opting to serve her jail sentence at the same L.A. county jail as the "that's hot" heiress.

Richie will serve out her four-day sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility at L.A. County's women's jail in Lynwood, Calif., usmagazine.com reported Thursday.

"Nicole Richie's attorney has indicated that she wants to do her time in county jail," L.A. County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore told the mag. "Lynwood is the only county jail for women in Los Angeles, so if she does go to county jail, she will go to Lynwood."

The pregnant Richie, who has plead guilty to driving under the influence, told OK! Magazine for this week's editions that she is feeling "healthy and happy" these days and her life "is clearly going to slow down."
